well N95 is a GPS enabled device no problems.

the next question is the service provider Q tel they do have the GPS services provided.

First make sure the settings for GPS has been enabled like the settings are saved on the phone and then sure it shall work.

If you get connected to the WLAN as well it should work, Qatar being the country it is with its size does not make a difference if u use GPS or otherwise. If you are new to this country may appreciate the use of it.

Man beware of the charges as the charge out rates of Q tel... for GPS rates is not so encouraging.TRUST ME.

GPS in a cellphone only gives U the location of the area where a transmitter antena is erected - that its catching on that particular time. it dosent work like magellan. still better go to this web-site & ask ur questions: www.howstuffworks.com
